Definitions

  • This invention relates to a process for preparing improved polydextrose characterized by its content of 0.3 mol percent or less of citric acid bound in the form of ester groups.
  • the improved, water-soluble polydextrose of this invention is prepared by reducing the bound citric acid content of unimproved, water-soluble polydextrose, by passing the unimproved, water-soluble polydextrose through one of more specified resins.
  • Bound citric acid is also referred to herein as citric acid bound in the form of ester groups. These citrate esters are primarily dibasic, and so generally retain a measure of acidity. While the process of the invention coincidentally reduces free citric acid to less than 0.1 mol %, free citric acid can be added back where acidity is desired.
  • water-soluble polydextrose also known as polyglucose or poly-D-glucose
  • water-soluble polydextrose specifically refers to the water-soluble polydextrose prepared by melting and heating dextrose (also known as glucose or D-glucose), preferably with about 5-15% by weight of sorbitol present, in the presence of a catalytic amount (about 0.5 to 3.0 mol %) of citric acid.
  • dextrose also known as glucose or D-glucose
  • sorbitol preferably with about 5-15% by weight of sorbitol present, in the presence of a catalytic amount (about 0.5 to 3.0 mol %) of citric acid.
  • Water-soluble polydextrose is an item of commerce which, as an approved food additive, is defined in the Food and Drug Section of the Code of Federal Regulations (21 C.F.R. 172.841). In its unimproved form, it is also described by Rennhard, U.S.
  • Patent, 3,766,165 which claims, inter alia , a "[w]ater soluble highly branched poly[dextrose] wherein the linkage of 1 ⁇ 6 predominates, having number average molecular weight between about 1,500 and 18,000 and containing from about 0.5 to 5 mole percent of [citric] acid ester groups ", i.e., water-soluble polydextrose charactrized by its content of from about 0.5 to 5 mol % of bound citric acid; and by Rennhard, U.S. Patent 3,876,794, which claims various foods containing same. According to Rennhard, water-soluble polydextrose is preferably prepared using 0.5-5 mol percent of citric acid as catalyst.
  • Rennhard since Rennhard's use of about 6 mol percent of citric acid produced more than two thirds undesired insoluble polydextrose, we prefer use of citric acid at a level in the range of about 0.5 to 3 mol percent, approximating the 1% by weight noted in the C.F.R., cited above. Rennhard also specified optional use of about 5-20% (preferably 8-12%) by weight of sorbitol in the polymerization. The narrower range approximates the 10% by weight of sorbitol also noted in the C.F.R., cited above,
  • Rennhard's polydextrose possesses a slight bitter taste which limits the breadth of its use in foods.
  • Rennhard generally suggested the use of ion exchange as a method of reducing the acidity of his polydextrose; e.g., at column 6, lines 48-50 of U.S. 3,766,165.
  • Three types of basic ion exchange resins are available for this purpose, viz : Types I and II strong base anion resins, and weak base anion resins.
  • Type I resins which contain quaternized amine functional groups, are the most strongly basic and have the greatest affinity for weak acids such as carboxylic acids.
  • weak acids such as carboxylic acids.
  • Use of a Type I strongly basic exchange resin outside of the conditions disclosed by this invention leads to polydextrose with inferior taste.
  • Rennhard also suggested dialysis as a method of reducing the acidity of polydextrose.
  • this method is well known to selectively remove low molecular weight compounds which diffuse through a membrane where higher molecular weight solutes do not.
  • citrate ester compounds bound citric acid
  • dialysis would be unsuitable for the removal of such compounds.
  • EP 380248 published August 1, 1990, discloses improved, water-soluble polydextrose containing 0.01 to 0.3 mol percent of bound citric acid, a process for producing the polydextrose and foods containing the polydextrose.
  • EP 458748 published November 27, 1991, discloses a polydextrose composition that is substantially free of bitter tasting and color causing compounds which is useful as a bulking agent in low calorie foods, and a process for producing the polydextrose.
  • the present invention provides a process capable of producing an improved form of the water-soluble polydextrose defined above having reduced levels of citric acid bound in the form of ester groups.
  • the present process coincidentally reduces the level of unbound or so-called free citric acid to less than 0.1 mol percent or even to less than 0.01 mol percent.
  • this is not a critical feature of the present invention, and there will be circumstances where it will be desirable to add back the citric acid, for its acidity and/or for its lemony taste.
  • the product of the present invention may be used in foodstuffs, particularly those further comprising one or more sweetening agents selected from the group consisting of alitame, aspartame, acesulfame and saccharin, most particularly to those further comprising alitame or aspartame; and dry low calorie sweetener compositions comprising at least 50% by weight of said improved polydextrose and one or more sweetening agents selected from the group consisting of alitame, aspartame, acesulfame and saccharin, particularly one with alitame.
  • a process for preparing an improved water-soluble highly-branched polydextrose containing 0.3 mol percent (0.36 weight percent) or less of citric acid bound in the form of ester groups from unimproved highly-branched polydextrose which has been prepared by a process which comprises melting dextrose at a temperature below its decomposition point in the presence of 0.5 to 3.0 mol percent (0.59 to 3.56 weight in percent) of citric acid, said process comprising passing an aqueous solution containing 10-70% by weight of unimproved polydextrose through one or more resins selected from the group consisting of:
  • the aqueous solution of polydextrose can be passed through a cation exchange resin after passage through any of the resins described above.
  • unimproved water-soluble polydextrose is prepared by melting dextrose containing about 0.5 to 3 mol percent of citric acid at a temperature below its decomposition point, maintaining said molten mixture at a temperature of 140 to 295°C and at reduced pressure in the substantial absence of water until substantial polymerization occurs and simultaneously removing water formed during said polymerization.
  • sorbitol by weight is incorporated into the mixture prior to melting and polymerization; even more preferred is to incorporate sorbitol in the range of about 8 to 12% by weight.
  • the reduced pressure is preferably less than 40kPa(300 mm) of mercury.
  • the preferred level of citric acid in the polymerization is in the range of about 0.7 to 1.3 mol percent, nominally about 1% by weight per the C.F.R. cited above.
  • a preferred ion exchange resin is weakly basic ion exchange resin, particularly one containing tertiary dimethylamine functionality.
  • the most preferred ion exchange resin of this type is Amberlite IRA-93 (Trade Mark) manufactured by Rohm and Haas.
  • Another preferred ion exchange resin for use in combination with a weakly basic ion exchange resin is a Type I strongly basic ion exchange resin with quaternary trimethylamine functionality.
  • the most preferred ion exchange resin of this type is Amberlite IRA 900 (Trade Mark) manufactured by Rohm and Haas.
  • Yet another preferred ion exchange resin for use in combination with a weakly basic ion exchange resin is a Type II strongly basic ion exchange resin with quaternary dimethylethanolamine functionality.
  • the most preferred ion exchange resin of this type is Dowex 22 (Trade Mark) manufactured by Dow.
  • a preferred cation exchange resin for use in the mixed bed resins described hereinabove is a macroreticular resin containing sulfonic acid functionality on a styrene-divinylbenzene matrix.
  • Preferred cation exchange resins of this type are Amberlite 200 (Trade Mark) manufactured by Rohm and Haas and Dowex 88 (Trade Mark) manufactured by Dow.
  • Preferred ion exchange resins for use in the mixed bed resins described hereinabove are the preferred and most preferred weakly basic ion exchange resins, Type I strongly basic ion exchange resins and Type II strongly basic ion exchange resins also described hereinabove.
  • the most preferred mixed bed resin comprises a mixture of about 2:1 v/v of one of the most preferred ion exchange resins hereinabove described and either Amberlite 200 or Dowex 88.
  • the preferred resin is one which contains amine functionality on a styrene-divinylbenzene matrix, for example Dow's XU-40285.00 (Trade Mark).
  • a weakly basic ion exchange resin it is preferable to pass the resulting solution through a Type II strongly basic ion exchange resin or a mixed bed resin described above.
  • Preferred resins for such dual passage are those described immediately above. Further, after passage through any of such resins, the resulting solution can be passed through a cation exchange resin. Preferred cation exchange resins are given above.
  • the preferred Type II resins hereinabove described have, as an upper temperature limit, 40°C.
  • a mixed bed resin containing a basic ion exchange resin When a mixed bed resin containing a basic ion exchange resin is used in the practice of this invention, an aqueous solution containing about 10-70% by weight of the unimproved polydextrose is passed through the mixed resin at a flow rate and temperature which is preferable for the basic ion exchange resin used in said mixed bed resin.
  • Preferred flow rate and temperature ranges for the basic ion exchange resins are described above. However, when using such mixed bed resins, a lower flow rate within the ranges given above is preferred.
  • a cation exchange resin When employing a cation exchange resin following passage of the solution through any of said resins, it is preferable to pass such a solution containing about 10-70% by weight of the polydextrose at a flow rate of about 1-20 bed volumes per hour and a temperature of about 10-80°C through said cation exchange resin. When a combination of such resins are used in sequence, it is preferable to employ the preferred conditions specified above for each such resin in turn.
  • water is removed using film evaporation.
  • bound citric acid refers to citric acid which is released when polydextrose is subjected to base catalyzed hydrolysis conditions.
  • the "mol % of citric acid” used as catalyst in the polymerization is calculated from the weight % of citric acid as follows:
  • the dilute polydextrose solutions which are collected at the beginning and end of the run are held apart from the more concentrated solution collected during normal operations. The dilute solutions are then used in the makeup of the next batch of concentrated solutions for resin treatment.
  • the total wt % of bound and unbound citric acid will be increased in the polymerization by the fact that water is lost in this process.
  • the total mol % of bound and unbound citric acid will stay the same since there is no net loss of glucose, sorbitol or citric acid residues.
  • the mol % of unbound and bound citric acid in unimproved polydextrose is readily calculated from the proportions by weight of each of free and bound citric acid to total citric acid, factored by the mol % of citric acid originally introduced into the polymerization.
  • the mol % of either bound or unbound citric acid is best calculated by simply multiplying the weight % by 162/192, the ratio of the molecular weights of a glucose unit (glucose - H 2 O) and of citric acid.
  • mol % values for free and bound citric acid are used in the present claims.
  • Dextrose and optionally a specified amount of sorbitol are polymerized in the presence of the specified amount of citric acid according to methods earlier disclosed by Rennhard in U.S. Patents cited above, preferably by a continuous process such as that exemplified below.
  • the resulting unimproved water-soluble polydextrose product which corresponds to that of Rennhard, is then solubilized in water, preferably at high concentration, e.g., in the range of about 50-70% w/w, and at somewhat elevated temperature (e.g. about 30-70°C).
  • the resultant solution is passed through one or more of a column of weakly basic ion exchange resin, of Type II strongly basic ion exchange resin, of an adsorbent resin or of a mixed bed resin comprising a basic ion exchange resin and a cation exchange resin, provided that when a column of an adsorbent resin or a weakly basic ion exchange resin is used, at least one column of another of said resin types is used in combination therewith. Further, following passage through any of said resins or combinations thereof, the solution can be passed through a cation exchange resin.
  • the present improved polydextrose now containing less than 0.1 mol % of free citric acid and 0.3 mol % or less of bound citric acid, is collected from the column as an aqueous solution, which in many applications can be used directly without further isolation.
  • the improved polydextrose is recovered from the solution by conventional means, e.g., by removing the water under vacuum and/or the addition of a non-solvent such as alcohol.
  • a preferred method is to recover the polydextrose as a melt in a thin film evaporator and to solidify the melt by cooling.
  • Free and bound citric acid are determined by HPLC. To detrmine total citric acid (free and that bound as ester), an alkaline solution of polydextrose is heated to hydrolyze citric acid esters, and the hydrolyzate is analyzed for citric acid. In method A, described below, free citric acid is also detrmined by direct analysis of an unhydrolyzed solution of polydextrose. Bound citric acid is then calculated as total citric acid less free citric acid. Method B, also described below, is more sensitive than Method A but determines total citric acid only. Free citric acid can not be independently determined because citric acid esters are partially hydrolyzed under the conditions of HPLC analysis employed in Method B. This is unimportant for analysis of highly purified polydextrose, however, since levels of free citric acid are extremely low.
  • Citric acid is detected by its ultraviolet absorption at 210 nm, and is measured against a standard citric acid solution (0.8 mg/ml) chromatographed in like manner.
  • citric acid chromatographic peak which appears at a retention time of about 8 minutes, is sometimes superimposed on the trailing edge of an unidentified larger peak. When necessary, it is resolved from this peak by tangential skimming, a well-known method which is described, for example, on page 13 of chapter 6 of the Spectra-Physics SP4270 Operator's Manual, copyright 1982.
  • Total citric acid is determined by adding 2.0 ml of 2.5 N NaOH to 5 ml of a 100 mg/ml solution of polydextrose, heating the resulting basic solution at 70°C for 2 hours, cooling and acidifying the hydrolysate with 2.0 ml of 2.88 N H 2 SO 4 , diluting to 10 ml with mobile phase, and analyzing for citric acid by HPLC by the same method. Bound citric acid is calculated as total citric acid less free citric acid.
  • the HPLC system includes an injector with a 10-microliter sample loop, and Ionpac AS5A (Trade Mark) 5-micron separator column (Dionex cat. no. 037131), and a conductivity detector equipped with a chemical suppression system (Dionex cat. no. 038019 or equivalent).
  • the mobile phase is carbonate-free 0.048 M NaOH, at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/minute.
  • Total citric acid is determined by diluting a 250 mg sample of polydextrose, or equivalent quantity of solution, to 25 ml with mobile phase, heating for 60 minutes at 70°C, cooling and analyzing the resulting solution by HPLC against a standard citric acid solution (0.02 mg/ml).
  • the citric acid chromatographic peak which appears at a retention time of about 5 minutes, is measured as described in Method A, above.
  • M n Average molecular weight (M n ) values were determined by using methods earlier described by Rennhard in the patents cited above. See also Isbell, J. Res. Natl. Bur. Stds. 24 , 241 (1940).
  • the present improved polydextrose is incorporated into foods according to methods previously disclosed by Rennhard and Torres in the three U.S. patents cited above, and as further exemplified below.
  • the improved taste of food products prepared with present modified polydextrose is reflected in the so-called hedonic test, a common method of measuring food acceptance.
  • the test employs a taste panel, generally 15-20 in number. It is a straight acceptance test, and does not necessarily require an experienced panel. Panelists are given coded samples to rate for acceptance by checking a point on the so-called Hedonic scale as shown in Table I. At the same time, the panelists are given a space to provide optional comments.
  • pairs of coded food samples, one containing conventional, unimproved polydextrose and one containing present modified, improved polydextrose are compared side by side, without the panel knowing which sample contained the improved polydextrose.
  • the hedonic score is calculated as the numerical average of the individual scores assigned by the individual panel members.

  • Test Method I unflavored hard candy prepared from the polydextrose to be tested was evaluated by a taste panel as described above.
  • Hard candy for evaluation was made by heating a mixture of polydextrose 50% in water (49.98 wt %) with Lycasin 50% in water (49.9 wt %) to 157-160°C in an oil bath at 180°C, cooling to 140°C and adding citric acid (0.08 wt %) and alitame 10% triturate in mannitol (0.23 wt %) with thorough stirring.

  • Test Method II involves the evaluation, by a trained food technologist, of an aqueous solution containing about 50% polydextrose.
